Andre147 PGC wrote:You make a very good point Andy Spark, it's not just because you can in theory have 100 tons in a season that suddently you're one of the best breakbuilders in the game, BUT you can't deny the amazing scoring power Robbo has had in recent times and who knows if he carries on like this for 1 or 2 more seasons for instance how many tons he'll have when he finishes his career. Hendry still leads I think the overall century rate, but as I said we have to take our hats off to what Neil has done so far this season, which has been simply amazing. Even a Hendry at his peak if he had this amount of tourneys in his heyday would be more than happy to what Robbo has done so far and keeps doing. Knocking in centuries for fun.

Best century raters this season-minimum 100 frames played
1 Neil Robertson 7.83
2 Ronnie O'Sullivan 9.5
3 Ding Junhui 10.05
4 Judd Trump 11.83
5 Marco Fu 12.19
6 Mark Allen 13.14
7 David Gilbert 15.94
8 Mark Selby 16.79
Best Overall Career century Raters-min 1000 frames
1 Ding Junhui 11.1
2 Ronnie O'Sullivan 12.33
3 Judd Trump 13.75
4 Neil Robertson 14.19
5 Stephen Hendry 15.13
6 Marco Fu 15.16
7 Mark Selby 15.99
8 Mark Allen 16.4
9 John Higgins 16.75
Obviously the overall career rate is of minimal meaning for those that carry on well into decline or are retired like Hendry, but a useful guide for those that are in their prime years.

According to the stats the best century raters clearly still show the best players.

How will we know whether a player is good or not, unless we have lists of stats?

Ryan Day has 206 Graeme Dott only 157 Who is the most successful player?
Robin Hull hardly played on TV has 118 Centuries to his Name

Although his scoring has been tremendous so I think he deserves to reach 100 tons, a shame some of them have to be on CL but anyway...

It's a shame this tournament exists really.

Absolutely.
But I also don't understand why Robbo keeps playing in them. Does he want to be burned out and flat again in the Crucible? All he's doing is massively inflating the century record books.

Guess who tops that? Ronnie at the Masters and WC, and Hendry at the UK.
Inflating a century count will do nothing to improve Robertson's standing in the game. It just illustrates that we have far too many events on tour (many of them tinpot like this one, sadly). Why don't people like Dave Hendon and Taylor understand this?

I Dont understand the concept of these Events at all.
Robbo has given the Shootout a miss though and i Guess he will miss the World Open too. but in january there's not much snooker played apart from this rubbish so burn out is never going to be a issue with these events.
